2020.0 Garmin Navigation Map Update Available

[Chee_hu]

Will the dealership make these updates if you ask them?

I've read that they will not since it's a Garmin update.

I've never had luck with updating my maps. I get through the first step, download the file into a thumb drive with 128 GB space, and whenever I try to stick it back to the R it doesn't detect the new file and just keeps repeating step 1 detecting it needs an update. I give up lol

Easus Partition Master Free is a great utility for formatting large flash drives as FAT32 when the regular Windows formatting or the diskpart utility will not allow it.

Thanks for the thread. I was able to update painlessly, didn't know you had to plug it in the car first.

Just checked Garmin Express and...

I just did the update, and the map loading into the car got to about 90% and then said update failed. Did it? Where can I check the map version in the car? This is what I see now:

Car doesn't detect a 128gb USB from experience. Try something smaller like 16

So the car has to be on for 30min. Can I start the update and go driving? Or do I have to let the car sit running idle? Or better yet. Can I do it without the engine actually running?

It works fine on accessory mode. I think Honda/Garmin recommends against that just in case the process runs too long and you run down your battery.

That's no problem. I have a battery tender and will just hook that up while it's going. I just don't want to heat soak my brand new Type-R for 30min. Thanks!

You can let it go while you drive; I've done that before.

Also, having your car idle for the 20min it takes isn't going to hurt the car.

Waze. I never use the garbage factory nav.

Just updated my ‘19 Civic touring.

Does anyone ever notice any actual changes to the maps? I always update, but I’m just curious if anyone has noticed anything

It did for me. The one I used was 128gb. It was a user error on my part. I kept turning the car off before downloading the filed to the drive.

I ran the update again and it completed successfully. The items on the screen didn't change, so the map version must be somewhere else.

Trying to get my update to work correctly, but the head unit fails, saying that there’s not enough memory on the device. I checked the detailed settings (no pic yet of that screen) and it says it has around 2.3 GB available — which seems stupidly low (what’s the total capacity? 2.4 GB?).

here’s the error that the system shows:

I have this same issue, does anyone have a fix for it?
